Les maken...
1
I found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks.
2
Nothing.
3
Nelson Mandela said, there is no passion to be found playing small
4
and settling for a life that's less than the one you're capable of living.
5
Now I'm sure in your experiences in school and applying to college
6
and picking your major and deciding what you want to do with life,
7
I'm sure people have told you to make sure you have something to fall back on.
8
Make sure you've got something to fall back on, honey.
9
But I never understood that concept,
10
having something to fall back on.
11
if I'm going to fall I don't want to fall back on anything except my faith I want to fall forward.
12
I figure at least this way I'll see what I'm going to hit.
13
Fall forward.
14
This is what I mean.
15
Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his career,
16
the most in the history of baseball.
17
But you don't hear about the strikeouts.
18
People remember the home runs.
19
Fall forward.
20
Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments.
21
Did you know that?
22
I didn't know that.
23
Because the 1,001st was the light bulb.
24
Fall forward.
25
Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.
26
You've got to take risks,
27
and I'm sure you've probably heard that before,
28
but I want to talk to you about why that's so important.
29
First, you will fail at some point in your life.
30
Accept it.
31
You will lose.
32
You will embarrass yourself.
33
But here's the thing.
34
I didn't quit.
35
I didn't fall back.
36
But do you have the guts to fail?
37
Here's my second point about failure.
38
If you don't fail, you're not even trying.
39
To get something you never had,
40
you have to do something you never did.
41
because taking risk is not just about going for a job.
42
It's also about knowing what you know and what you don't know.
43
It's about being open to people and to ideas.
44
What are you going to do with what you have?
45
I'm not talking about how much you have.
46
Some of you are business majors.
47
Some of you are theologians, nurses, sociologists.
48
Some of you have money.
49
Some of you have patience.
50
Some of you have kindness.
51
Some of you have love.
52
Some of you have the gift of long suffering,
53
whatever it is, whatever your gift is.
54
What are you going to do with what you have?
55
So you got to get out there.
56
You got to give it everything you got,
57
whether it's your time, your talent,
58
your prayers, or your treasures.
59
Because remember this, you will never see a U-Haul behind a hearse to not only take risks,
60
but to be open to life,
61
to accept new views, and to be open to new opinions.
62
never be discouraged never hold back give everything you've got and when you fall throughout life and remember this fall forward
63
you

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
